Reference Rover for macOS
Privacy Policy
Effective July 19, 2026. This policy explains how RefRo handles the information in your visual research library.
Information you add
RefRo stores the projects, images, source addresses, product details, notes, tags, categories, folders, presentations, and other information you choose to add. This content is used only to provide the app’s research, organization, search, presentation, and export features.
Storage and iCloud
Your RefRo library is stored on your device. If you enable iCloud synchronization in a release that supports it, Apple’s iCloud service stores and synchronizes the library within your iCloud account. RefRo’s developer does not operate a separate server that receives your research library.
On-device analysis
RefRo may use Apple Vision and, on supported systems, Apple Intelligence Foundation Models to suggest labels and concise titles. This analysis runs on the device. RefRo does not upload images to its developer for analysis.
Browser and website access
When you drag content from a website or ask RefRo to capture the current page, RefRo may read the active Safari or Chrome page address and save it with your reference. When you import from a web address, RefRo may contact that address to retrieve the image and page metadata you requested.
RefRo opens third-party websites only when you choose an action that needs them. Those websites handle information under their own privacy policies.
Keynote access
When you choose Keynote export, RefRo communicates with Keynote to create the presentation you requested. RefRo does not use Keynote access for any other purpose.
Analytics, advertising, and tracking
RefRo does not include third-party advertising, behavioral tracking, or developer-operated analytics in the current release. RefRo does not sell personal information.
Data sharing
RefRo does not share your library with its developer. Information leaves the app only when you choose to sync through Apple iCloud, access an external website, export or share content, or drag content to another application.
Retention and deletion
Your information remains until you delete images, projects, or the app’s data. When iCloud synchronization is enabled, deletions may synchronize through your iCloud account according to Apple’s iCloud behavior and retention practices.
Children
RefRo is a general creative tool and is not directed to children under 13.
Changes
This policy may be updated when RefRo’s features or data practices change. The effective date above will identify the latest version.
